Not for the novice DIY person as electricity is involved.

I am not responsible for any accidents if you so wish to repair your own TV.

This set was damaged by Fire, Ectoplasum juice & Water.
The fire damage was minimal, but the water damage was quite intensive.

It was my choice to do such an act,
Thanks to Jade's comments on CBB :angry: I lost it and threw My Television out the house, then set it on fire.
but afterwards I realised that I need my television, so I had to repair it.

Fig 2: within seconds it was out of control.

After putting out the fire with 2 buckets of water would the Television still work. :unsure:
Well this is what I did.
I removed any large amounts of water by using bog roll,
The rest of the moisture was evaporated using an electric heater.

The first test failed as I forgot to dry out the plug, that was a shame as it blew all the house electrics.

Fig 4: success, it works,
only a small pop,
but I think that was caused by moisture on the screen :unsure:

Fig 5: Only a bit of fire damage on the case,
But it's as good as new.

You wouldn't need to fix it if you didn't throw it out and set it on fire. :blink:
